Chapter 888

It looked no different from a regular fountain pen.

Just as Skylar was about to unscrew the pen to take a look inside, Joe said abruptly, “This isn’t my pen.”

Skylar turned back to look at hint and asked, “What do you mean it’s not yours?”

“I’ve never used it before.” Confusion shimmered in Joe’s eyes.

Had he taken someone else’s pen on accident during a meeting?

“I’ll unscrew it to take a look first.” Skylar wasn’t sure what was wrong with it. However, it made her severely uncomfortable. She took it apart within seconds

In the end, she found out what was wrong. There was a tiny, nearly indiscernible bone nestled into the top of its cap. It was tightly stuck to the top. One wouldn’t have noticed it while popping the cap off. If Skylar hadn’t examined it thoroughly, she wouldn’t have found it either, nor would she have thought it was a bone.

“Do you have a needle? I’ll try to get the bone out,” said Skylar.

“I’ll look for one.” When Joe heard of the bone, his eyes turned cold. Someone had planted a native

item on him without him realizing it!

A few minutes later, Joe found a sewing kit. They would use the needle inside.

Skylar pried at it with the needle multiple times. After a few attempts, she got part of the bone out. Then, she banged the cap on the table. An ivory–colored thing the size of a sesame seed fell out. It was at most two sesame seeds thick.

Skylar pulled a tissue from a nearby box and picked the bone up. Then, she wrapped it in tissue.

“Why would it be a skull?” Joe narrowed his eyes.

“Could you recall who gave this to you? This skull belongs to a man who died because of a negative item. He died a gruesome death. His head had been crushed by a carriage. Then, someone collected the pieces of his skull and kept them till now. It has caused the death of a few other people too.

“I don’t think you’ve used this pen before. If not, you would’ve been affected upon opening the cap.” Skylar explained calmly.

Joe’s jaw clenched tighter as he listened to her.

“I don’t remember much about this pen,” said Joe.

Someone must’ve slipped this into his penholder while his office was empty. He didn’t lock his office. during office hours.

Skylar nodded and said, “I’ll take care of this pen. You must be careful after this. Other than those you trust, don’t let anyone else get close to your office.”

“I’ll get someone to check the surveillance footage,” stated Joe.

Skylar continued looking around. She was even more thorough this time after finding the pen.

The office was completely silent. This silence was broken when Joe’s phone rang.

“Have you got anything lined up for today? Let’s play together!” Rowan invited.

Joe glanced at Skylar and replied, “Alright, I’ll head over in a bit.”

After hanging up, he said to Skylar, “Rowan invited me to go out with him. Would you like to come?”

Skylar’s interest was piqued. She asked, “What are you guys going to do?”

“Badminton.”

“Alright. Give me ten more minutes.”

An hour passed.
